A member asked:
My husband needs to paint our soon to be nursery room. ideally when should he do so for baby & i to avoid exposure of fumes. currently 20 wks?

You have time: Most paints will dry in 48-72 hours with proper ventilation. If you are concerned about fume exposure, it would be best if you were not around when he did it. Once it is done, stay out of the room for the next 2-3 days. Hope this helps!
